Thrombosis refers to blood clot (thrombus) formation which can block blood flow in vasculature, with negative health effects as a consequence. Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have a protective role against thrombosis, whilst not affecting normal wound healing ability. Click here for topic overview haemodialysis & dha
Haemodialysis is a blood filtering treatment given to individuals whose kidneys are not functioning well. This can occur in conditions such as chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Haemodialysis patients are at severe elevated risk of (fatal) cardiovascular health events, such as heart attacks. Crucially, research findings points towards a positive role of DHA in cardiovascular health of patients undergoing haemodialysis. Click here for topic overview hypertriglyceridemia & DHA
Cardiovascular health is negatively affected by hypertriglyceridemia, a condition wherein circulating levels of triglycerides are too high. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have beneficial cardiovascular effects in hypertriglyceridemic patients by reducing circulating triglyceride levels. Click here for topic overview |
